It was freely chosen for simplicity.

If you choose another R, the other sides (x and y) become R*cos(th) and R*sin(th)

I don't understand what is harmful about the unity circle either.

I've been using distrobox at work (on RHEL 8, Fedora 16 based) for a while, but the containerization tech (it uses podman) does seem to introduce some extra latency, which is especially painful when using CLI tools such as zoxide, eza and bat.

I'm in the process of switching to Nix, which should have native performance, the largest number of packages, and guaranteed reproducible, deterministic versions.

You couldn't be more wrong. 🍉🍉🍉

Of course, if you're living in Russia, it's dangerous to state anything other than support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

That doesn't mean it isn't cringeworthy to watch someone awkwardly dance around it, trying to ignore it while complaining about (checks notes) losing a bit of reputation over an unnecessary war that their country started and which literally cost thousands of lives.

Any Russian who stands up against that is incredibly brave. The others, just different levels of sad. Non-Russians who support Putin are the worst.

I understand why you'd want FOSS to not care abot borders, wars and politics and that is noble. But to call this comment racism, comes across as a veiled show of support for Putin. As if critiquing his invasion is a racist act that hurts the Russian people. Putins invasion is hurting the Russian people. Not this comment.

Windows XP... such expressive, truly material-like, design, only Vista comes close. But XP ran so much better.

Thank you for sharing your findings and the great explanation! I recognize number 2 a lot.. I will try to stop engaging with the anxiety.

This has me confused.

Temperature can be used to refer to how fast the atoms are jiggling (kinetic or phonon temperature) or to how messy, disordered (opposite of ordered) a system is.

Time dilation is a relativistic effect where time appears to go slower when you are looking at something that has a very high speed (near light speed) compared to you (relative velocity). Can also happen with mass because gravity is acceleration, thus related to velocity.

If the atoms are jiggling slower, relative velocities only shrink, so you'd expect to see less relativistic effect. I am not aware of any relativistic effects due to thermal motion in normal conditions (room temp, atmospheric pressure), so I don't know how they'd appear when relative velocities only decrease.

I am really interested where you got this temperature - time dilation link from. Can't seem to crack it.

Great job on the title @[email protected]

I'm sorry, you're right it is another important piece of the puzzle and my comment didn't really add anything.

Bazzite is based on Fedora.

OP is probably mostly running into hardware, rather than software limits. While ProtonDB does include hardware reports, it's made to check Linux compatibility primarily, and other benchmark sites will be better suited for OP. Most single player games should run well on Linux now.

In my first month with the Deck, I have mostly played:

  • Death Stranding
  • Red Faction: Guerrilla
  • GRID (2008)

And the hilarious tech demo of course!

I'm really happy with how well Death Stranding works and really see myself finishing it now that I can play it on commute. Love that game but it never fit my schedule (at the desk, I always played flight sims in VR or just a very quick shooter session).

Red Faction and GRID are easy enough on the battery, especially at 40 fps, and not too fussy about controls so they feel good with a controller (I felt a bit handicapped in Dirt Rally 2 and Project Cars 2).

In terms of emulation, I installed RetroDeck and tried Gran Turismo PSP but found that hard with the large stick and no analog controls for accelerate/brake Just putting some PS1 and PS2 games on it now, let's see if those will be able to bump GRID and Red Faction from my frequented list:

  • Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3
  • Gran Turismo 4

People, don't downvote! Look at the instance David's on. nl is Netherlands. That's us. We are nazi europe. The fascists are in government here in .nl, with a party that has only one member.

That is forbidden in Germany btw. I always like asking Dutch fascists why they think that party structure is forbidden in Germany specifically. Watch them realize they have to link the way their party is organized to WW2.

So I recently started to recognize a lot of the behaviors associated with ADHD. I was and still am in doubt whether I have ADHD or not, but some specific events caused me to ask my doctor to refer me for a diagnosis. I was actually doing quite OK-ish this year, after having struggled with self-worth, short depressive episodes and mild trauma in the recent past. But I noticed that I started to have trouble focusing again as the newness wore off after my career change. And I got called out by my friends for "acting ADHD". Which did not sound unusual at all.

So I got the referral, went through the intake with shrink 1, did an adult ADHD diagnosis with shrink 2. The diagnosis involved me and my mom answering questions about the presence of ADHD symptoms now and in my early childhood (5-12 yo). Basically, now I do have almost all of the characteristics, though they often are erratic (no problems studying, huge difficulties with household tasks, work productivity varies orders of magnitude day to day) and often not noticed by others (my average productivity in a month is great, though many days I feel shit due to not being able to do what I am supposed to).

In childhood, no symptoms were found. Zero. Partly because everyone in my family is forgetful and mom picks up stuff after everyone all the time, I was constantly reminded/pushed/supported and did not really have the opportunity to forget things (though I still did) and partly because like now, many of these things happen in my head and are not noticeable in the averages that others see. Except when I'm talking too much and interrupting people but I guess thats acceptable when children do it.

Maybe I don't have ADHD. Maybe it's something else. Maybe the shrink misunderstood me.

But I feel shit right now. The title is what I had pre-planned to say to people about the outcome and if they say again "don't act so ADHD". I can say it with a laugh and everyone thinks I'm funny and quirky.

But the truth is, I feel misunderstood. I feel like a failure for having fallen into an ADHD phenotype even though I am hugely privileged and have none of the baggage so many people here do. No childhood trauma, no school/grades problems, no poverty.

I can't help but feel that my behavior is my fault, as is wasting health professionals time, who could have helped someone who actually needed it. Shrink 1 is on "long-term sick leave" now. She got stressed by me clicking things constantly during the (remote) interviews. Another thing to feel guilty about.

Best case now is that they diagnose me with some sort of anxiety disorder now. I have been reading a book on autism that I found and it somewhat satisfies my yearning for closure and community in what the author finds, but it also makes it extra painful that I don't have that.

I don't have ADHD, I just am super annoying. And I need to deal with that and it's not actually all that funny.

I'm sorry for the wall of text. Thanks for sharing your stories and memes and goodbye!

 
  • Pop!_OS 22.04
  • on a 500GB SATA SSD
  • separate partitions with ext4 fs for the root and /home partitions.

I have Googled a lot, resized the home partition and filesystem a few times (from a liveboot USB) and run various analyzers but the problem persists.

Some output:

pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo resize2fs /dev/sda3
resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda3' first.

pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ cd a358cafe-a2a3-46a4-ba33-0a82e88fb157/ && sudo ncdu || cd ../
pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo lsblk /dev/sda3 -o size
 SIZE
 271G
pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo e2fsck /dev/sda3
e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
/dev/sda3: clean, 264256/17768448 files, 8195768/71048094 blocks

ncdu, du show 62 GB and Steam says similarly that there is no space to install games.

When I resize the partition and filesystem, it does show less remaining size. Resizing back to 290 GB, the max is still ~62 GB total apparent space.

Any ideas before I nuke the partition and move my data into a fresh one?

 

I finished the Sea Harrier yesterday. My third finished kit. Had some interesting mistakes along the way, and it was the first time reviving such old decals (yellowed and broken). Learned a lot. Given the troubles I had, I am very happy with the end result.
